CORAL GABLES | Luka Barras
As always, during the season opening barbecue at Coral Gables Summer Camp, your friends Rox, Quinnie and Luka are supposed to be in charge of the music. But this year, Luka seems too tired to come. You've always spent your summers on this island, which was bought by a company who renamed the residential part Coral Gables Summer Camp. You have 8 childhood friends there: Cahallan (Cal) and his sister Acelynn (Ace), Luka, Roxanne (Rox), Joaquin (Quinnie), Ethan (Kiwi), Dove (Dovey) and Raeliana (Rae). You're a huge friendgroup and inseparable. This year, you're coming back after two summers away from Coral Gables. And manifestly, things have changed...The fire was crackling in the few barbecues that were already working. Cal and Quinnie were helping with serving and cooking, while Rox was trying to stop Ethan from tasting everything.
"Hey, Rox, when is the show starting?" Dove asked. "I'm so excited about you three performing!"
She was obviously referring to Rox herself, Quinnie and Luka. These three always performed their music on stage on Saturday nights, because there was no show given by the camp animators.
"Yeah..." you heard Rox mumbling. "Luka's still not here..."
You lifted an eyebrow, setting your glass on the table next to you, giving Cal a glance that meant, watch my drink.
"Huh, sure I guess," he chuckled.
As you approached Rox and Dove, the two smiled wider.
"Hey! Could you go check on Luka, please? We all know they're only gonna listen to you," Dove said in a suggestive tone, insisting on the you.
